Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker look back on the Blue Jays' series-opening win over the Chicago White Sox to extend their win streak to nine games. They get into Joey Loperfido's improvements since his last stint in the majors, John Schneider's decision to pull José Berríos early, Nathan Lukes' jump and more. Then, they discuss the Jays' positional surpluses and needs as they approach the deadline. Later, ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan (27:45) stops by to share his thoughts on George Springer's All-Star snub, what type of pitcher the Jays should be zeroing in on at the trade deadline, the Red Sox's plans at the deadline, why the Royals should be sellers, how aggressive the Yankees will be in the third baseman market after Jazz Chisholm's move to second base, and how teams view Marlins starter Sandy Alcántara.
